Cheyenne County (in eastern Colorado) was established in 1889 and named for the Cheyenne Native American people. The county seat is Cheyenne Wells. This region is characterized by expansive prairie, ranching, agriculture and very low density (rural frontier influence). Housing is modest—ranch houses on acreage, single-family homes in small towns, fewer subdivisions. Because demand is low and land plentiful, prices for existing homes may be quite modest (perhaps US$150,000-250,000 depending on condition and size) and building on land may cost US$200–250 per sq ft plus site/utility prep (which can add up because of remoteness). This is a very rural county—amenities, infrastructure, and access to major cities are limited; the nearest larger city would be in Colorado Springs or even farther. For buyers seeking maximum land, minimal neighbours, very rural lifestyle this is a candidate—but if you require quick city access or sophisticated amenities, less so.
